Anand Rathi Report
Higher non-interest income and lower opex counter-balanced South Indian Bank Ltd.’s lower net interest margin, leading to a ~17% QoQ increase in operating profits.
Despite a seasonally weak quarter, headline asset quality was stable. With stress from the legacy book recognised, the focus now shifts to profitability.
We expect South Indian Bank to deliver a sustainable 1% RoA in the medium term.
We retain our Buy rating, with a 12-month target price of Rs 37, valuing the stock at 0.9 times price/adjusted book value on the FY26E book.
Risks: Higher stress arising from the corporate book; less-than-expected loan growth.
